Sweatworm (Miliaria)

Miliaria (lat. miliaria) is a skin disease that manifests itself in the form of small blisters on the skin. It occurs due to blockage of the sweat ducts by sweat plugs.

There are several types of prickly heat:

Miliaria rubra: It appears as red spots on the skin.
Miliaria alba: White patches appear on the skin, which then turn into blisters.
Solar Miliaria: Occurs on skin that is exposed to sunlight.

Usually, people who suffer from heat rash often and quickly lose their temperature, as well as those whose sweat glands function faster than others.
